List of things I'm lovin'

On this, Valentines Day, I bring you a list of things I'm lovin' lately. Now let's get our list on, shall we?

Rent the Runway - Have you heard of this? I saw it on The Egg. The title of her post caught my eye "always a bride$maid". So. True. When clicked to her page (you should too) and saw the fabulous bridesmaid gowns in the photo I thought, holy...how much did those cost?!

See what I mean? But then she reveals to us Rent the Runway. A nifty service where you can rent a designer dress for around $100. They mail it to you (I think it also includes a back-up size), you wear it, act fabulous and send it right on back. What a great idea!! Seriously, who wants to pay hundreds of dollars on a dress (that's not as great as a designer dress) to never wear it again? Brilliant I say. Just brilliant.

Flipboard - I'm probably sounding like 1982 on this, but Flipboard (an app for your phone) is new to me and I'm totally loving it. I needed a good news app and my smart hubs recommended this one. It is extremely easy to use and flawless in its design.

The Taste - Have you seen it yet? Here are my thoughts: Anthony Bourdain seems nicer than I thought he would be. I love that a lot of home chefs were chosen and are doing fairly well. It's cool/crazy/fair that judges can accidentally kick people off of their own team. I secretly want to be a contestant. My mom and I can't stand Diane, sheesh what a horrible attitude!

Who am I rooting for? Well our hometown dude of course! Chef Adam Pechal who has a couple of restaurants here in Sacramento. I also like Sarah, the blogger who is apparently also a pyromaniac.

Avocado on toast - Admittedly, I saw this on Shutterbean and thought it looked kind of weird. Then one day I tried it. Now I have it for breakfast almost everyday. It is so. freaking. good. Butter? What's that? Seriously, smash up some avocado, spread it on toast, be friendly with your salt and have breakfast, or a snack, or lunch.
